Name Rama

Sanskrit (रमा) means - "the dark one, the black one; enjoy".

Rama (Ram) Chand is the seventh avatar of the Lord Vishnu in Hinduism, and a king of Ayodhya in Hindu scriptures. In few Ram-centric sects, Ram is considered the Supreme Being, rather than an avatar. Ram was born in Suryavansha (Ikshvaku Vansh) later known as Raghuvansh after king Raghu. As per Valmiki Ramayan, Bal Kand Sarg 18, Shlokas 8/9/10, Ram was born on 9th Day in Chaitra Lunar Month in Ayodhya, India when Moon and Jupiter were rising in the east in Cancer sign and four other planets were exalted in their exaltation signs. Using a free Planetarium Software that uses NASA JPL data files for planetary positions, Pushkar Bhatnagar has been able to establish in his research that the star positions at Ram's birth match the date of "10th Jan 5114BC" around 12:30pm local time; there is no other match for these planetary positions. As per Based on Puranic genealogy, Ram is believed by Hindus to have lived in the second Yuga called Treta Yug, before Krishn who was born towards the beginning of Dwapara Yug. Ram is traditionally considered to have appeared in the last quarter of Treta Yuga.
